I think I am going to be contrarian and go with the 225/45/17 PSS's rather than the 245/40/17's on Enkei PF01 17x8's. The tread width difference between the two is minimal (8.2 vs 8.5) and the 225s are a pound lighter per tire (22 vs 23 lbs) and they are still a significant upgrade over the Primacy's. Both tires will go comfortably on an 8" rim (the 225s are 7.5" native and the 245s are 8.5" native) but I'd rather go on the skinny side. Cost is not the primary concern, but the 225s are also ~$50 cheaper per tire! They put a serious premium on the those 245s.

The rolling revs are a little different than stock (833 vs 844) but I can live with that.

Costco carries them, so the order is going in soon. Looking forward to moar grip!
